Protecting Water Sources: Past, Present And Future :
11 pages in length. One of the earth's most precious resources is
in great peril. Water, the substance required by all living
beings as a means of survival, is succumbing more and more to
the ravages of pollutants, most -- if not all -- of which are the
cause of humanity's environmental carelessness and neglect.
Indeed, water sources of decades past were only beginning to
show the signs of contamination, still remaining well within the
parameters of what is considered to be safe; however, the water
sources of late are clearly demonstrating the consequences of
overwhelming pollution by killing off a significant amount of
the plant and animal life that depends upon it for existence.
What is being done to correct this drastic situation is too little
too late according to critics, who contend that the world's water
source has been left to fight for its health for far too long to be
expected to regain its soundness. The writer discusses the
detrimental changes that the world's water source has
experienced. Bibliography lists 6 sources. TLCwater.wps

Alternatives To Gas # 2 : 5 pages in length. With fossil fuels
rapidly depleting, the world has had to devise alternative
methods by which to fuel various gas-powered machinery.
Few options appear to be as workable as electricity and
hydrogen fuel cells, yet there exist significant shortcomings to
even the best alternative. The writer talks about these two
sources of alternative fuel, including both their advantages and
disadvantages. Bibliography included. Gas3.wps

Gas Pipeline : A 7 page research paper on how laws, political
and legal actions, and resources all come together in the gas

Energy Policy & The Environment : This 5 page essay
explores the U.S. energy policy and global environmental
concerns. Several issues are addressed. Bibliography lists 3

Future Energy Demands : 6 pages in length. In the
not-too-distant future -- with regard to history's timeline --
there will come a point when fossil fuels will have been
depleted and humans will be forced to find alternative sources
with which to power automobiles, household heating units and
myriad other machinery that utilizes fuel. However, waiting
until supplies are exhausted before establishing a workable
alternative would place a major hardship upon future energy
demands. For this reason, various options -- not only those that
supply a form of fuel but also those that reduce and often
eliminate pollution -- have been in the works for several years.
The writer discusses the issue of future energy demands and
potential fuel alternatives. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Film Analysis / Silkwood : In this 4 page report, the writer
finds that Silkwood -- the biographical account of a plutonium
plant worker who died mysteriously in an auto crash as she was
about to expose nuclear safety violations-- shies away from
taking a definitive stand on who precisely was responsible for
the institutional negligence at the plant and ultimately, for
Karen Silkwood's death. The writer also feels that the film is
clearly slanted toward the positions of labor and the
environmental-protection movement yet never tells us who was
guilty. No Bibliography. Silkwood.wps
